Honesty is the best policy, I will stick to that. The good shall have my hand and heart, but the bad neither foot nor fellowship. And in my mind, the main point of governing, is to make a good beginning.

They must take me for a fool, or even worse, a lunatic. And no wonder ,for I am so intensely conscious of my misfortune and my misery is so overwhelming that I am powerless to resist it and am being turned into stone, devoid of all knowledge or feeling.

One shouldn't talk of halters in the hanged man's house.

Digo, paciencia y barajar. What I say is, patience, and shuffle the cards.

Great people create great acts of kindness.

Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.

Love is a power too strong to be overcome by anything but flight.
